Cannabidiol CBD Oil is one of more than 80 known components found in cannabis. There’s an ever increasing amount of research pointing to various health benefits in CBD, all while being non-psychoactive. The component responsible for giving users a “high” is tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), which is prevalent in marijuana. According to pre-clinical trials,research and studies, CBD’s are anti-convulsive, sedative, anti-psychotic, anti-nausea, anti-inflammatory. CBD is a potent antioxidant compound with neuroprotective properties as well.

2. How does Cannabidiol CBD Oil work ?

Simply put, CBD stimulates and regulates the endo-cannabinoid system, a group of neuromodulators in our body responsible for a variety of physiological processes.To understand how CBD works, we need to know that our bodies produce many different cannabinoidsthat interact with our cannabinoid receptors. The endo-cannabinoid system regulates appetite,pain-sensation, mood, memory and more by producing cannabinoids to interact with our body’s cannabinoid receptors that are found in the brain, as well as on some of our organs. While most cannabinoids bind into these receptors, CBD, which is essentially a naturally occurring cannabinoid found in plants, interacts with the endo-cannabinoid system indirectly, regulating the production of our own internal cannabinoids and promoting the overall health of our endo-cannabinoid system.The endo-cannabinoid system plays a crucial role in the normal functions of the immune and nervous systems. By stimulating and regulating the endo-cannabinoid system with CBD, we can observe a wide variety of positive effects, as showcased by numerous recent studies on the subject. Research on the exact properties of CBD and its interaction with our bodies is currently underway and scientists uncover new facts about this cannabinoid literally every month. So far, the results have been almost exclusively encouraging.

5. Is Cannabidiol CBD Oil Legal ?

Yes it is. It is legal for New Life Hemp Oil to sell and ship CBD products to ALL 50 United States. Here’ why . . .

*In March, 2017, the DEA acknowledged that CBD sourced from industrial hemp cultivated lawfully pursuant to a State’s industrial hemp laws enacted under the 2014 US Farm Bill is legal. This is because “industrial hemp” is itself specifically excluded from the CSA’s definition of marijuana in Section 7606 of the Farm Bill.Since industrial hemp is excluded from the definition of the CSA, and a “product consist[ing] solely of parts of the cannabis plant excluded from the CSA definition of marijuana” is not included in the new drug code, then such product (in our case, CBD) is also excluded from the definition of marijuana under the CSA and is thus legal.

“None of the funds made available by this act or any other act may be used… to prohibit the transportation, processing, sale or use of industrial hemp that is grown or cultivated in accordance with section 7606 of the Agricultural Act of 2014, within or outside the State in which the industrial hemp is grown or cultivated.”

6. Does your Cannabidiol CBD Oil have artificial flavors ?

9. What’s the difference between Cannabidiol CBD Oil and THC ?

Chemically they are both cannabinoid compounds, which makes their molecule look similar but are very different. There are over 85 known cannabinoids. THC and CBD are the two most common, and therefore the most studied. THC is a psychoactive compound, whereas CBD is non-psychoactive.

10. What’s the difference between hemp and marijuana ?

Hemp and marijuana are different varieties of the Cannabis genus of plants, bred for different purposes. Industrial hemp is exclusively produced by Cannabis sativa, while marijuana can refer to the sub-genuses of Cannabis sativa, Cannabis indica, or Cannabis ruderalis. Industrial hemp is grown to be fibrous and durable, with very long stalks and as few flowering buds as possible. Marijuana strains of cannabis are typically smaller, flimsier and have as many flowering buds as their breeding can allow. Marijuana is bred with the sole purpose of maximizing the concentration of THC, while industrial hemp naturally has trace amounts of THC and fairly high amounts of CBD. Hemp’s chemical profile means that you can’t get ‘high’ from it and it is used to create medicinal remedies, food and oil, as well as other products including rope, bricks, natural polymers, fiber, clothes and many more. Marijuana is used recreationally and medicinally only.

There are many methods to take CBD. Some people prefer to ingest it orally as a tincture under the tongue. And some people prefer to vaporize it. Each method has a different level of absorption and everyone’s body is different. When you process anything through the liver, less of it gets into your bloodstream. When you inhale it, that is a more direct route. Always consult with your doctor or naturopath before making a decision what is best for you.

12. Can I add CBD oil to my food rather than sublingually if I don’t like the taste ?

We recommend letting the oil absorb into your mouth rather than swallowing it right away. So to help with the taste, you can make sure to keep it under your tongue or mix it with coconut oil. CBD oil is not water soluble, so it won’t mix with water or juice.

13. How much Cannabidiol CBD Oil do I need ?

Everyone is different. The recommended serving size is enough for most people, but some take 2-3 times that amount or more. Use your own judgement as this is a food product that is oil based and may upset your stomach. The exact properties of CBD are still being researched and the ideal serving size for particular conditions haven’t been discovered yet. As CBD is largely free of side-effects, there is no point where taking “too much” CBD can hurt you, but you should still exercise moderation and use common sense.

Here are some general recommendations for a person weighing about 150 pounds, based on various research studies on CBD oil, as well as our own customers’ feedback and success stories:

1) 15 drops of CBD oil (or the equivalent of ½ ml) 2 times per day, for mild problems such as everyday anxiety, mild aches, mild sleep problems and general health maintenance.

3) Up to 90 drops of CBD oil (or the equivalent of up to 3 ml) for any other serious health condition including diabetes, cancer, MS and others, always in conjunction with your other medications and after consulting with your doctor.

14. How long do I need to take Cannabidiol CBD Oil ?

It make take some a few days to a week before seeing results or feeling any effect, while other may have immediate results. In addition, some people do not feel anything from taking the products while others say they can feel a very subtle calming effect.

19. Will Cannabidiol CBD Oil cure me, and when ?

We cannot guarantee anything and do not make any health claims about cannabidiol’s efficacy. This goes beyond our authority and our expertise and is best left to the experts who are conducting research on CBD’s efficacy as we speak. What we can tell you is that on a daily basis, we are hearing incredible stories from our customers about how CBD transformed their lives. Some people are verifying what scientists have already proven about CBD’s health benefits against anxiety and inflammation, while others share stories about success with ailments that scientists haven’t yet produced conclusive evidence about regarding CBD’s efficacy. Therefore, as the potential benefits of CBD are not yet fully understood and can vary greatly between individuals, it’s impossible for anyone to tell for sure when, how and if CBD will cure you. At this time the best we can do is steer you towards informative articles and studies on sites like ProjectCBD.org & PubMed to help you learn about that side of CBD. Always consult your doctor about your condition. It’s best to use CBD in conjunction with your regular medication to maximize results, rather than pick one over the other.
